Traffic Havoc in Thuringia due to Slippery Roads and Snow
Slippery roads and snow drifts have brought about a series of accidents and travel disruptions in certain parts of Thuringia since last Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning, authorities reported that the Suhl area's highway was entirely covered in snow, leading the police to issue warnings. Elsewhere in Meiningen, several trucks struggled to navigate through Etterwinden and Dreißigacker's snow drifts.
His latest woe comes as traffic in the Saalfeld area encountered problems since Monday evening, with snow drifts and icy conditions causing disruptions on Bundesstraße 94 between Lössau’s Schleiz district and Kirschkau’s Saale-Orla district, as well as on Bundesstraße 89 between Sonneberg and Eisfeld in the district of Sonneberg.
